Ignoramus
I used to think that a Gnostic group and especially the
Gnostic group that I belonged to was really just a random collection of half
normal half strange, half mediocre, half interesting people. In time I realised
how ignorant an attitude this was.
If we think about a Gnostic group in this way we can
certainly make certain errors in relation to a Gnostic group.
To harm a Gnostic as we will see in these series of posts is
definitely something of concern.
More than Just a Bunch of Unusual People
The best way to look at a Gnostic group is from above. It
must be this way because a gnostic group is really an esoteric formation and as
such it fulfils an esoteric function.
If we are to look at each member from the human and personality
level only, we see that very few of the members have something in common on
that level. We all come from different backgrounds, have different professions,
different economic and social circumstances and have different interests, different
likes and different viewpoints. In fact, it would be very unlikely that any of
the group members would meet each other in common life and feel an empathy for
each other and strike up a friendship.
So then what really holds a Gnostic group together is an
esoteric common ground. Therefore, a Gnostic group is really fundamentally an physical/esoteric
formation or an physical/esoteric unit.
It is certainly more than just a group of semi-normal
semi-unusual people. It is an esoteric creation!
